    Purchased an AMD rear bumper and it solved my problem. Just need to raise and level the left hand end. Put my harbor freight digital caliper on both bumpers. AMD is .13” thick while my Taiwan bumper was .08-.09”thick. AMD is thicker and heavier. Measure first then buy. Expect that the memory...
